As Fall The Leaves Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GHGHFF

As fall the leaves so drop the daysA
In silence from the tree of lifeB
Born for a little while to blazeA
In action in the heat of strifeB
And then to shrivel with Time's blastC
And fade forever in the pastC
-
In beauty once the leaf was seenD
To all it offered gentle shadeE
Men knew the splendor of its greenD
That cheered them so would quickly fadeE
And quickly too must pass awayF
All that is splendid of to dayF
-
To try to keep the leaves were vainG
Men understand that they must fallH
Why should they bitterly complainG
When sorrows come to one and allH
Why should they mourn the passing dayF
That must depart along the wayF
